The most authentic southern style restaurant in Georgia. My family has been in Georgia for over 250 years and this is the top place for true Southern cuisine. No frill or fakery, Smith House in the truth. All served family style, the fried chicken, creamed corn, cornbread, sweet tea, cole slaw, pot roast, mashed potatoes, etc will give you a degree in authentic southern fare. This isn’t commercialized or kitsch. The fried chicken is like your southern momma used to make. Not the huge, growth hormone- chicken breasts like you get at Publix but local farm, tender, small, natural chicken spiced and fried to perfection. They roll out carts of hot food and you eat until you are satisfied. Situated in the middle of Dahlonega in a period home complete with a recently unearthed, secret, Yankee gold mine right in the Middle of the floor. The story behind it is fascinating but you need to go eat some real southern food and tour the small museum on the premises to uncover the mystery.
